Princeton rescue squad member dies from rescue attempt injuries

The Princeton rescue squad member who had been in critical condition since being swept away by flood waters in a rescue attempt early Sunday has died, police said this morning, according to The Times of Trenton.

There had been momentary confusion about the status of Michael Kenwood, 39, Sunday afternoon. Gov. Chris Christie said at a news conference that he had died, but that turned out to be premature.

Kenwood was part of a rescue team responding to a submerged car near a Princeton Township park. The car turned out to be empty.
